I guess this bug belongs to the DRI component, but feel free to assign the bug to the component owner if I'm wrong.

After installing DMC driver 1.06, it shows as not loaded in APL platforms.

These are the results:

# /lib/firmware/i915# ls -l

Comment 1 Imre Deak 2016-04-29 21:32:32 UTC
The minimum required DMC FW version is 1.07, this should be also printed in dmesg. Version 1.07 is not available yet, it will be released after passing validation.
